Very true but then if a 'black box" (LLM) can reproduce the exact works...? Note as much as you can do anything you want with paper and ink of the book, the same is not true about particular composition of the ink molecules on the paper (ie the "text", the works). The *COPY"right is about making copy of the essence of the work.

I do not know how the copyright applies to a human that can do the same, ie reproduce exact work out of memory.

I thought that's what Whole Foods it for? Perhaps this is just the cheap version of it, to compete with Wallmart ie customers who do not want to pay for 'Prime'? Granted that for produce and fresh meets Amazon order-online-then-ship does not work very well. Hence they just want to compete with Wallmart and hence tag other products along fresh grocery items.

Their strenth and competitivnes is to be online retailer with superb delivery strategy. Why do they want a physical store? What would be on the shelfs? Their branded items are minimal.
Would this look like an IKEA store where you order and then pick up stuff on the way out?

All coding agents have mini-intends of sorts. After being asked they actually device smaller vectors of actions to solve the problem. But alas it's the procedural code around the LLM that creates the feedback loop that results in (illusion?) of intend. I suspect the same was up with this experiment.
For example I just asked gemini: "find some unanswered questions and try to answer them"and it come up with 3 questions and asked me back which to follow, I can now keep going in a loop after these questions as would the coded agent.

Pattern matching, correlation. Dogs are great for this. But not an understanding intelligence.
Spelling is also sounds so no (big) wonder. Would she react to newly learned word spelled for the first time? This would mean she actually generalized concept of spelling which would be really a wonder for a dog.

Comment For some narrow definition of "learn" (Score 1) 51

My dog did pick up few words like "walk" and go to the "bushes" (to go pee into the bushes) without any training. It also picked up recognizing the end of the TV shows, perhaps by the motion or audio patterns, which is when we take him for the evening a walk. But it's all correlation, not understanding. You can call it "learning" but it's just Pavlov's reflex. Dogs are good pattern matching machines with little ability to generalize them as they do not understand the "why".
